Hi, my first post. Just bought a 2012 NW Exceed Diesel Pajero and wondering how you open the rear cover for the spare wheel. I looked inside and there were 2 large bolts inside under little covers. Do I just undo these and it swings open? It seems to have a hinge on the other side?

Yep, spot on! Just don’t do those bolts up too tight, they can strip pretty easy I believe.

Thought it is a bit silly to make it hard to remove the spare cover. Would actually prefer for the spare to be under the rear (like my dual cab) and the rear door to open upwards instead of sideways.03/19 MY18 Pajero NX GLX Graphite | KUMHO AT51 265/65R17 | Ultragauge MX v1.4 | AEM GPS Speedometer | Yakima Platform on OCAM Backbone | OEM Tow Bar | KAON Internal Rear Roof Shelf | ARB SmartbarComment

That would mean less clearance underneath of less storage space inside.

Yes it is a compromise.
My Terracan had the spare wheel under the back which was great, except there was NO storage space or nooks in the back at all. The 3rd row seats folded up against the side of the rear cabin taking up space in there too.2014 NW MY14 3.2 DID GLX-R Auto. Champagne in colour!

Thanks Keithyv, had to guess as the owners manual is missing from the glovebox!

And make sure they go in straight. They are very easy to crossthread and damage the female thread.
